The IF function in Excel is one of the most important tools for automating decisions within a spreadsheet. The IF function checks a condition and returns different values depending on the result. This simplifies calculations and structures processes without requiring in-depth prior knowledge. DEBThe selection showed offensive drive right from the start and was able to quickly bridge the neutral zone several times with good passing. The first shot on goal, however, came from the Swiss, but Lilly Uhrmann in the German goal had no problems with it. After five minutes, Ronja Hark and Thea-Marleen Bartell had the first two big German chances on the power play, but they were not forceful enough in the final stages. In the ninth minute of play, the puck was almost in the goal when Lisa Heinz hit the inside post. Five minutes before the first half, Heidi Strompf aimed exactly right: her slap shot from the blue line hit the opponent's goal on the power play to give them a 1-0 lead. Up until the half, the German team once again showed a presence in the attacking third, but rarely found a direct route to the goal. So the 1-0 lead remained.
The start of the middle section was balanced with periods of pressure on both sides. After 25 minutes, the German team had their third power play opportunity. And Lea Badura took advantage with a shot from the blue line to make it 2-0. The German team then had more of the game, but was unable to capitalize on any of the chances they had created. On the other hand, a Swiss woman happily deflected the disc into the German goal to make it 2-1. Just 22 seconds later, Svenja Voigt restored the old gap with a 3-1 halftime score.

DEB-Selection started the last part of the game with a situation of being outnumbered, but after a minute and a half a Swiss penalty equalized this again. The German team was able to exert pressure on the subsequent majority, but did not score another goal. Two minutes before the end, Annabella Sterzik chipped the disc off an opponent's stick during the backcheck, pulled the puck through the legs of a Swiss defender and rewarded herself for this individual performance with the goal to make the final score 4-1.
Franziska Busch, U18 women’s national coach: “Today’s game was an improvement on the preparatory game. We implemented a lot of what we planned and trained for. We have improved particularly in defensive behavior. Now it’s important to regenerate well before the next game against Slovakia and continue to work on the guidelines.”
